Monitoring information in the RECON data set

Evaluate information from the RECON data set on a daily basis to understand the status of the total data-sharing workload and response times for all critical data-sharing transactions.

You can use the historical trace of events recorded in the RECON data set to find out the intervals when shared data was active. The LIST command or QUERY request can give you a comprehensive listing of events. For sysplex data sharing, you need a listing from all operating systems. Events such as IMS signon and time stamped database data set OPEN/CLOSE can be traced.
